Operations Management
Operations is the nerve center of your organization. This is where the money is spent, the product is built, or the service is performed. This is also the area that most management teams ignore in terms of operating efficiency and the hidden benefit to the organization. A well structured and designed Operations will improve your bottom line by reducing quality defects, reducing COGS, reducing cycle times and most importantly, improving customer satisfaction.
The Importance of Operations
Operations is actually where three internal disciplines come together: Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality Assurance. Each of these disciplines must work together in a collaborative environment in order for the entire organization to be successful. The application that ties it all together is your ERP system. Is it helpful or an anchor? The ERP system must be a resource that is used throughout the organization and Supply Chain. If you are implementing a new system or are considering purchasing a new system, the decision and implementation process may make or break your company.
